    Also the reason any random American can make decent money teaching English to foreigners, it’s almost impossible to learn all the random shit intentionally.

    The reason English speakers can make decent money is that English is a high-demmand language and people naively value native speakers.

    Untrained native speakers of any langauge are fucking horrible teachers because they can’t explain anything to you. All they can say is, “I would say this in this situation, but can’t tell you why I’d say that in that situation.”

    Please, don’t pay an untrained native speaker for anything but conversation practice.
